Baby Brislenose

[Phoenixbaby]

Hey guys my baby bristle nose has been looking a little poorly the past few days

Eyes look a little puffy and his belly has dropped a bit

checked water, everything is fine

any ideas im really worried

 

[WILDER]

Sorry I don't no what you mean the belly dropped again, so do you mean sunken in or bloated.

 

[Phoenixbaby]

severly bloated

he looks like hes gonna explode

and his gills are really inflamed

also under his belly there is a big lump

its clear he is dying

what should i do?

 

[Phoenixbaby]

too late he already died

I got 2 peacock gobys the other week, and one in the tank had TB and was dying, and the guy told me the 2 i was buyin wud be fine wud be fine

i looked at my baby pleco and it was showing symptoms of TB

is tis coincedence?

 

[chicklette]

Sorry you lost your pleco. I don't think it was a coincidence. Maybe it is spreading, I don't know. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about this topic will come along as I don't know what meds if any you could treat the tank with.

 

[Phoenixbaby]

I have been told that there isnt really an effective med for this

All my other fish seem fine, no symptoms which is gd

The fish shop have aplogised, but said it wouldnt have been connected as its rare to pass it on and for plecos to get it

ok rare yes, impossible...no

im really angry with them right now

 

[WILDER]

Once a fish is really ill from tb there no cure for that fish, but you can use antibtiotics sto save the rest.
Can you list the symtoms your fish have show.
As red inflamed gills can also be bad water quality to gill flukes which cause bacterial infections.

 

[Phoenixbaby]

none of my other fish have symptoms and are fine as b4

i looked at the symptoms of tb and my bristlenose was showing all those symptoms
